These Blouses were made in
Tlahuitoltepec Mexico.
A few years ago a
French Fashion Designer copied these blouses
and did not give credit to the
Tlahuitoltepec people
(see 8th photo for side by side comparison)
.
There was a big backlash against the French designer and as a result
,
UNESCO gave the
Tlahuitoltepec
community International protection and rights over its Designs and other Cultural Traditions.  A protection that is much needed by the Indigenous peoples of Mexico and
protection against Cultural appropriation!
Machine wash on a delicate cycle,
using a mild soap and dry flat, and press with a cool iron.
